A cream made OF ofconfectioner' sugar
is the basis of all uncooked candies.
(Confectioner' sugar is another name
for xxx powdered sugar, costing 10
cents pound.) Small quantities are
easily handled, and the work is so
simple that, if q sufficient quantity is
not made at first, more is easily manu-
factured. Take a good-sized bowl, and
break into it the white of one, two CIR
more eggs, and add to it an exactly
equal quantity OF cold water. Then
stir in confectionery sugar slowly un.
til you have it stiff enough to be
moulded into shape by the fingers.
Flavor to taste with any essence liked
best. Vanilla is always safe. Mold
the paste into balls about the size of
q large marble, into egg shapes, cubes,
squares or lozenge shapes, and lay
upon platter orwaxed paper to dry.
Flavor q part OF the French cream
made with peppermint or wintergreen
essence to taste, mold into lozenges,

fidehce that he would act justly and in q

his response said:
Though am farther away from England

the same ambitions, and am still more
greatly impressed with the unison OF the
aims OF the two great nations which you
and l represent. bring with me the uni
versal sympathy OF every Englishman
whose opinion is worth consulting, and l
am sure that nothing will be permitted to
imperil the good relations that have exist.
ed between Great Britain and the United
States. During the last twenty years has
grown that confidence between us without
which true friendship cannot exist. l as
sure you that the settlement which we
will strive to gain will accrue to the benefit
OF either party-in fact, l shall not at
tempt any settlement that is not admira.
bly, fair. At all events you will not under
estimate what such an honest settlement
will mean. The bloodiest wars of which
history contains the record have sprung
from like trivial causes. The question OF
trade will weigh heavily upon any discus
sion between your country and mine. Fully
one-sixth OF all the exports OF England are
to your country, and fully one half OF your
exports come to us. No. gentlemen. we
cannot afford the luxury OF a quarrel. Mr..
Chamberlain expressed his amazement at
the struggle for wealth, but thought that
the country's safeguard was the reverence
for law among the people. In his own
country he was called radical. He ad-
mitted it. The people should make, enforce
and obey the laws.

Thanks to the Lord of life for all He wills,
His right hand planted us on goodly soil,
Which every harvest yields to moderate
toll,
And many IL spacious barn with plenty

His arc the ca title on q thousand hills.
Freely he bids us bear the countless

While bursting presses flow with wine

And industry swift plies her busy mills.
But thank him most for human liberty;

Capt. 4. H. Mills, an old citizen and
prominent vessel man. and the owner OF a
line OF harbor tugs OF Detroit, Mich, shot
and killed Mrs. Austin Rising, wife OF his
manager, at her residence. Mills then
went home, locked hinselfin his room and
shot himself through the head, death re-
sulting almost instantly. Capt. Mills, who
was a widower is said to have been infat-
uated with the woman. and becoming in

Miner and Carson, fashionably dressed

traitors OF the largest bond robbery on rec
ord, the theft OF S470,O00 in sec urities
from the office OF James Young. n New

that they will be arraigned for the bond
robbery. but will undoubtedly go to pris-
on for their offences committed in Boston.

1888. Mrs. Boyd's son John had pre-
viously gone there to live. Each OF the
party made homestead entry. At the end
of six months they again went West with
free passes on hunting excursion. They
labored under the delusion that il they
were not absent from the land for more
than six months they could hold the land.
These two visits were the only times they
ever were on the land before institution

The Condition Of Indian Agricul-
turo.

The report OF Agent Sheehan at White
Earth exhibits the following table OF oper-
ations OF his Indians in agriculture:
Land under cultivation. 5, 703 acres;,
land broken during the year, 1888 acres;
land under fence, 13. TIA acres; fence built,
LAB acres; wheat, As, 900 bushels; oats,

turnips, 4,7O0 bushels; beans, 500 bushels;
pumpkins, 1878 bushels; other vegetables
$500 pounds; hay cut and cured, 5,153
tons. The average attendance at the
schools was: Red Lake, 48; Leech Lake,
80; White Earth, 60; Rice River. 10;
Saint Benedict's orphan, 25. The Red
Lake Indians are happy, prosperous,
peaceable and well behaved. The Leach
Lake Pillagers and others are by no means
in prosperous condition. but manage to
make living.

It OF the Northwestern commission, Shee-
han says:
The loss OF the White Earth and Red
Lake reservations caused by the destruc-
tive fires which ragged through the pine
districts during last year and May and
June of the present year cannot be cor.
rectly estimated, but it il thought by ex.
perts to be about 900. 600, 600 feet on the
two reservations. How these fires orig.
mated is thus far a mystery. A large
majority OF the Indians are anxious to
see the fulfillment OF their hopes in an
early ratification Of the agreement with
the Northwestern Indian commission by
congress during the coming session.

Sir William Macarthur, ex-lord mayor OF
London. ex-member OF the house OF COM
MONS and q munifcent patron OF the
Wesleyan church, died in carriage OF the
underground railway. He was probably
checked to death. The blacklist fog ex-
perienced in years prevailed at the time OF
his death.
Dispatches received from San Reno say
that there has been discharge OF green
matter from the crown princes throat,
which proved to be cancerous. In view OF
this fact his caseis considered much worse,
as this kind OF cancer is OF the most malig-
nant type and is regarded as incurable.
The German doctors, the reports say, are
trying to deny the serious, almost critical
developments OF the crown princes all
ment, which is now clinically and patho-
logically clear.
London cable dispatch states that
Charles Kowatch, alias Hanover, pas
senger bv the State line steamer State OF
Indiana, has been arrested at Greenock
for having in his possession four dynamite
cartridges. When arrested he said his
name was Julius Hanover. At the Office
OF the State line in this city Mr.. Baldwin
said that Kowatch bought steerage
ticket for Bremen at the Chicago office on
Oct %. He said he was native OF Ger.

Death of Cen. William Myers, U.S.A'

Gen. William Myers, deputy quarter
master general, died at New York city on
the 11th inst. He had been suffering from
inflammatory rheumatism for number of
years, and this. it is thought, was the i'm
mediate cause of his death. Gen. Myers
was born in Reading, Pa. He graduated
from the military academy in 1852. He
was first lieutenant of the Ninth in.
fantry at the breaking out of the
Rebellion and captain and assistant
quartermaster in 1861. In the same year
he was assigned to duty at st. Louis as
assistant to Gen. Robert Allen, and was
subsequently appointed chief quartermas-
ter OF the department OF the Missouri at
st. Louis, a position he held until 1866,
when he was assigned to duty at OMAHA
Neb. where he was chief quartermaster OF
the department OF the Platte until 1870,
when he was ordered to Washington city
as depot quartermaster there. In 1875
master of the division OF the Pa
cific and department of California.
He was ordered to Chicago in 1879,
and after three years tour there as depot
quartermaster he was assigned to duty as
chief quartermaster OF the department of
Dakota, with headquarters at Fort SMELL
ing, Mimi, when Gen. Terry was in COM
mand. He was placed upon the retired list
in 1888, at his own request, and after
thirty years. service. Gen. Myers services
during the war gained for him the brevet OF
brigadier general. His money and prop.
erty accountability during that time was
perhaps greater than that of any other
office Of The quartermasters' department,
having disbursed over 5000, 100000 from
1862 to 1866.

Death of a Noted Soldier.

Baker Pasha, Gen. Valentine Baker.
who. in 1875, while holding the appoint
ment OF assistant quartermaster general
at Aldershot, Eng, was compelled to leave
the service on being found guilty of a mis-.
demeanor, died at Tek-el-kebir, Africa,
from fever contracted at Port Said while
proceeding by steamer to Cairo. Valen-
tine Baker was an Englishman by birth
and fifty-two years OF age. His
history is curious one. Not
many years ago he was a dash
ing officer in the Tenth Hussars, petted
darling in London society and an intimate
friend OF the prince OF Wales. All this he
lost by attacking an English young lady in
one OF the compartment carriages OF an
English railway. In the trial that followed
he injured his cause by attempting to
blacken the character and motives OF the
young lady. Cashiered and for Il time i'm
prisoned, he resolved to retrieve his repu.
tation by gallant conduct entered the
Turkish service, became a favorite OF the
sultan and served with distinction in the
Ottoman army. Baker was a rigid dis
cipllnarian and one OF the best cavalry
officers OF modern times.
